Fort Lauderdale Face Lift Surgery and Mini Face Lifts

A facelift rejuvenates the face by smoothing away cheek wrinkles, eliminating jowls and neck laxity, and improving the jawline. A facelift can be combined with other procedures-such as eyelid lifts, browlifts, nasal surgery, laser treatment, and lip enhancement-to further enhance your result. Facelifts are popular among women and men. Mini-facelifts can also be performed involving only the cheeks.

Rhytidectomy, commonly referred to as a “face lift”, is a surgical procedure that involves removing the excess facial skin and repositioning the skin to visibly improve the signs of age in the neck and face. It won’t stop you from aging, but it will give you a more youthful appearance. Mini-face lifts for just the cheeks are also available with little down time. Face lifts are usually done under local anesthesia with IV sedation.

This surgical procedure begins with incisions made along the ear and under the hair line. The skin is separated from the tissues and the excess is removed. In most instances, the tissues under the skin that have become lax also need to be tightened. The skin is then pulled taut, but keeping a natural-looking appearance. The incised areas are sutured, though the scars are inconspicuous after the procedure.

It is important to find a plastic surgeon who has years of experience performing face lifts. Dr. Simon is a Board Certified plastic surgeon who has been practicing in South Florida since 1990. His patients come from around the world and include some celebrities. Dr. Simon’s goal is to make his patients feel as good about their outward appearance as they do about their inner self.
